Description: The king and queen sit on wooden chairs, elevated above the ground on a platform of logs. Groups of men sit on benches set perpendicular to the left and right sides of the platform. A group of women dance in a circle, inside the three-sided rectangle formed by the platform and benches. Some of the women hold hands as they dance. They wear ropes tied around their waists, from which discs hang. This illustration is identical to the one found on page 121 of Frankfurt 1591, but colored.
